Four great recordings I keep hopin' get pressed on vinyl... Revival - Gillian Welch (1996) BR5-49 (2007) The Notorious Cherry Bombs (2004) New Favorite - Alison Krauss + Union Station (2001) ... there are a few others, but these four would be an awesome start.

A square photograph of four CDs in a grid: Revival - Gillian Welch's 1996 release, BR5-49's eponymous recording from 2007, The Notorious Cherry Bombs' from 2004, and New Favorite - Alison Krauss + Union Station's Grammy winning album from 2001.

Me, last night. The August Round Rock Image Creators meeting was held at Poke-e-Jo's Smokehouse, not far from the house, and coincidentally, very close to the record store I occasionally visit.

A portrait of yours, truly. Shot by Bill Ledbetter.
